In __vmalloc_area_node() we always warn_alloc() when an allocation
performed by vm_area_alloc_pages() fails unless it was due to a pending
fatal signal.
However, huge page allocations instigated either by vmalloc_huge() or
__vmalloc_node_range() (or a caller that invokes this like kvmalloc() or
kvmalloc_node()) always falls back to order-0 allocations if the huge page
allocation fails.
This renders the warning useless and noisy, especially as all callers
appear to be aware that this may fallback. This has already resulted in
at least one bug report from a user who was confused by this (see link).
Therefore, simply update the code to only output this warning for order-0
pages when no fatal signal is pending.

Purging fragmented blocks is done unconditionally in several contexts:
1) From drain_vmap_area_work(), when the number of lazy to be freed
vmap_areas reached the threshold
2) Reclaiming vmalloc address space from pcpu_get_vm_areas()
3) _vm_unmap_aliases()
#1 There is no reason to zap fragmented vmap blocks unconditionally, simply
because reclaiming all lazy areas drains at least
32MB * fls(num_online_cpus())
per invocation which is plenty.
#2 Reclaiming when running out of space or due to memory pressure makes a
lot of sense
#3 _unmap_aliases() requires to touch everything because the caller has no
clue which vmap_area used a particular page last and the vmap_area lost
that information too.
Except for the vfree + VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS case, which removes the
vmap area first and then cares about the flush. That in turn requires
a full walk of _all_ vmap areas including the one which was just
added to the purge list.
But as this has to be flushed anyway this is an opportunity to combine
outstanding TLB flushes and do the housekeeping of purging freed areas,
but like #1 there is no real good reason to zap usable vmap blocks
unconditionally.
Add a @force_purge argument to the newly split out block purge function and
if not true only purge fragmented blocks which have less than 1/4 of their
capacity left.
Rename purge_vmap_area_lazy() to reclaim_and_purge_vmap_areas() to make it
clear what the function does.

vmap blocks which have active mappings cannot be purged. Allocations
which have been freed are accounted for in vmap_block::dirty_min/max, so
that they can be detected in _vm_unmap_aliases() as potentially stale
TLBs.
If there are several invocations of _vm_unmap_aliases() then each of them
will flush the dirty range. That's pointless and just increases the
probability of full TLB flushes.
Avoid that by resetting the flush range after accounting for it. That's
safe versus other invocations of _vm_unmap_aliases() because this is all
serialized with vmap_purge_lock.

_vunmap_aliases() walks the per CPU xarrays to find partially unmapped
blocks and then walks the per cpu free lists to purge fragmented blocks.
Arguably that's waste of CPU cycles and cache lines as the full xarray
walk already touches every block.
Avoid this double iteration:
- Split out the code to purge one block and the code to free the local
purge list into helper functions.
- Try to purge the fragmented blocks in the xarray walk before looking at
their dirty space.

Patch series "mm/vmalloc: Assorted fixes and improvements", v2.
this series addresses the following issues:
1) Prevent the stale TLB problem related to fully utilized vmap blocks
2) Avoid the double per CPU list walk in _vm_unmap_aliases()
3) Avoid flushing dirty space over and over
4) Add a lockless quickcheck in vb_alloc() and add missing
READ/WRITE_ONCE() annotations
5) Prevent overeager purging of usable vmap_blocks if
not under memory/address space pressure.
This patch (of 6):
_vm_unmap_aliases() is used to ensure that no unflushed TLB entries for a
page are left in the system. This is required due to the lazy TLB flush
mechanism in vmalloc.
This is tried to achieve by walking the per CPU free lists, but those do
not contain fully utilized vmap blocks because they are removed from the
free list once the blocks free space became zero.
When the block is not fully unmapped then it is not on the purge list
either.
So neither the per CPU list iteration nor the purge list walk find the
block and if the page was mapped via such a block and the TLB has not yet
been flushed, the guarantee of _vm_unmap_aliases() that there are no stale
TLBs after returning is broken:
x = vb_alloc() // Removes vmap_block from free list because vb->free became 0
vb_free(x) // Unmaps page and marks in dirty_min/max range
// Block has still mappings and is not put on purge list
// Page is reused
vm_unmap_aliases() // Can't find vmap block with the dirty space -> FAIL
So instead of walking the per CPU free lists, walk the per CPU xarrays
which hold pointers to _all_ active blocks in the system including those
removed from the free lists.

it seems that I have completely missed high order allocation backing
vmalloc areas case when implementing __GFP_NOFAIL support. This means
that [k]vmalloc at al. can allocate higher order allocations with
__GFP_NOFAIL which can trigger OOM killer for non-costly orders easily or
cause a lot of reclaim/compaction activity if those requests cannot be
satisfied.
Fix the issue by falling back to zero order allocations for __GFP_NOFAIL
requests if the high order request fails.

For areas allocated via vmalloc_xxx() APIs, it searches for unmapped area
to reserve and allocates new pages to map into, please see function
__vmalloc_node_range(). During the process, flag VM_UNINITIALIZED is set
in vm->flags to indicate that the pages allocation and mapping haven't
been done, until clear_vm_uninitialized_flag() is called to clear
VM_UNINITIALIZED.
For this kind of area, if VM_UNINITIALIZED is still set, let's ignore it
in vread() because pages newly allocated and being mapped in that area
only contains zero data. reading them out by aligned_vread() is wasting
time.

interface because it doesn't have an associated vm_struct. Then in
vread(), these areas are all skipped.
Here, add a new function vmap_ram_vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas.
The area created with vmap_ram_vread() interface directly can be handled
like the other normal vmap areas with aligned_vread(). While areas which

out page-aligned small regions and zero fill holes.

Through vmalloc API, a virtual kernel area is reserved for physical
address mapping. And vmap_area is used to track them, while vm_struct is
allocated to associate with the vmap_area to store more information and
passed out.
However, area reserved via vm_map_ram() is an exception. It doesn't have
vm_struct to associate with vmap_area. And we can't recognize the
vmap_area with '->vm == NULL' as a vm_map_ram() area because the normal
freeing path will set va->vm = NULL before unmapping, please see function
remove_vm_area().
Meanwhile, there are two kinds of handling for vm_map_ram area. One is
the whole vmap_area being reserved and mapped at one time through
vm_map_area() interface; the other is the whole vmap_area with
VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE size being reserved, while mapped into split regions with
smaller size via vb_alloc().
To mark the area reserved through vm_map_ram(), add flags field into
struct vmap_area. Bit 0 indicates this is vm_map_ram area created through
vm_map_ram() interface, while bit 1 marks out the type of vm_map_ram area
which makes use of vmap_block to manage split regions via vb_alloc/free().
This is a preparation for later use.

Patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas", v5.
Problem:
***
Stephen reported vread() will skip vm_map_ram areas when reading out
/proc/kcore with drgn utility. Please see below link to get more details.
/proc/kcore reads 0's for vmap_block
https://lore.kernel.org/all/87ilk6gos2.fsf@oracle.com/T/#u
Root cause:
***
The normal vmalloc API uses struct vmap_area to manage the virtual kernel
area allocated, and associate a vm_struct to store more information and
pass out. However, area reserved through vm_map_ram() interface doesn't
allocate vm_struct to associate with. So the current code in vread() will
skip the vm_map_ram area through 'if (!va->vm)' conditional checking.
Solution:
***
To mark the area reserved through vm_map_ram() interface, add field
'flags' into struct vmap_area. Bit 0 indicates this is vm_map_ram area
created through vm_map_ram() interface, bit 1 marks out the type of
vm_map_ram area which makes use of vmap_block to manage split regions via
vb_alloc/free().
And also add bitmap field 'used_map' into struct vmap_block to mark those
further subdivided regions being used to differentiate with dirty and free
regions in vmap_block.
With the help of above vmap_area->flags and vmap_block->used_map, we can
recognize and handle vm_map_ram areas successfully. All these are done in
patch 1~3.
Meanwhile, do some improvement on areas related to vm_map_ram areas in
patch 4, 5. And also change area flag from VM_ALLOC to VM_IOREMAP in
patch 6, 7 because this will show them as 'ioremap' in /proc/vmallocinfo,
and exclude them from /proc/kcore.
This patch (of 7):
In one vmap_block area, there could be three types of regions: region
being used which is allocated through vb_alloc(), dirty region which is
freed via vb_free() and free region. Among them, only used region has
available data. While there's no way to track those used regions
currently.
Here, add bitmap field used_map into vmap_block, and set/clear it during
allocation or freeing regions of vmap_block area.
This is a preparation for later use.

Currently the __vunmap() path calls __find_vmap_area() twice. Once on
entry to check that the area exists, then inside the remove_vm_area()
function which also performs a new search for the VA.
In order to improvie it from a performance point of view we split
remove_vm_area() into two new parts:
- find_unlink_vmap_area() that does a search and unlink from tree;
- __remove_vm_area() that removes without searching.
In this case there is no any functional change for remove_vm_area()
whereas vm_remove_mappings(), where a second search happens, switches to
the __remove_vm_area() variant where the already detached VA is passed as
a parameter, so there is no need to find it again.
Performance wise, i use test_vmalloc.sh with 32 threads doing alloc
free on a 64-CPUs-x86_64-box:
perf without this patch:
- 31.41% 0.50% vmalloc_test/10 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __vunmap
- 30.92% __vunmap
- 17.67% _raw_spin_lock
native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
- 12.33% remove_vm_area
- 11.79% free_vmap_area_noflush
- 11.18% _raw_spin_lock
native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
0.76% free_unref_page
perf with this patch:
- 11.35% 0.13% vmalloc_test/14 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __vunmap
- 11.23% __vunmap
- 8.28% find_unlink_vmap_area
- 7.95% _raw_spin_lock
7.44% native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
- 1.93% free_vmap_area_noflush
- 0.56% _raw_spin_lock
0.53% native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
0.60% __vunmap_range_noflush
__vunmap() consumes around ~20% less CPU cycles on this test.
Also, switch from find_vmap_area() to find_unlink_vmap_area() to prevent a
double access to the vmap_area_lock: one for finding area, second time is
for unlinking from a tree.
